THE Findhorn Hinterland Trust (FHT) has announced the completion of their new Conservation Hub.
The hub, which was completed on February 19, is made out of trees from the surrounding woodland and will be used by the trust as a base for conservation and educational work.
The occasion was marked with a celebration featuring members who founded the trust. That included FHT Chair Jonathan Caddy, George Paul and Kajedo Wanderer.
Mr Caddy said: "It is a symbol of our long-term commitment to the land we are custodians of and a very practical tool to help fulfil our charitable purposes of conservation, environmental education, building local community and providing recreational resources on the Findhorn peninsula.
He added: "The end result is a beautiful and functional building which brings more joy and efficiency to the work we do but equally as important has been the way that it has been created – the whole network of people that have willingly come together to freely contribute their time and skill to build something positive within our local community that has been challenged by covid, redundancies, fires and major restructuring.
"It has definitely helped kick start the rebuilding of our sense of community and hopefully will inspire things to come in relation to the future creation of our new sanctuary and community centre as well as bring nourishment and hope to many."
The hub is located near Findorn Bay near the Moray Firth coastline.
FHT is an environmental charity caring for land on the Findhorn peninsula with a vision to keeping nature at the heart of the community.
